Maybe it's not worth a discussion, but when I started using woody before,
the stability of this machine was much less critical than it is now
(nobody else relied on it then, but several people/machines do now).
Also, I figure that "unstable" at the start of development of a new
release (sid now) is probably a bit more unstable than "unstable" near the
end of development of the release (woody of 2 months ago).

So will testing always be available? I like the idea. I'm just not used to
packages being rolled back in a release. But if I have apt-get always
looking at testing, maybe that's what will make me happy.
